Lamb Stew / Pot Pie for Leftover Leg of Lamb image

I wanted to make the most of my leg of lamb after having Roasted Lamb with Potato, Onion and Tomato Gratin which was great. I had about 3 cups of lamb left and the bone. This is what I created. This recipe is open to a lot of changes and preferences but will give the inexperienced cook a good idea as to how to make that leftover lamb into two more great meals.
